Could I use these on the stovetop on the melt or low setting? I don't like to warm by babies food in the microwave.

No. Look for old Corning-ware pans. Some were for stove top. But not the new ones.

I use the hottest water from faucet or boil water, place in a bigger bowl and sit this smaller bowl in the hot warm to heat up the baby food. Hope this helps. They are very small jars, only 6 oz so pretty small to put on top of an electric burner, plus you have to deal with trying to take off the hot bowl.

I wouldn't, but you can put them in a pot of warm water to bring up the temperature.

NEVER put these on a stovetop. They will literally explode, sending shards of glass all over your kitchen (personal experience here!) Great for everything else though.

I've never used them in the oven, but they are safe in the microwave, which can heat up food to a fairly high temp. The lids are definitely not safe in an oven, but, I would think that the glass could handle lower temps. To be sure I would try contacting the company.

Yes actually I think you can. I havn't microwaved anything in them for a while but as far as I can remember I used to when my son was eating purees. The only thing that they say not to do on the actual bottom of the containers is not to boil.

Happy to answer your questions, Steve. I use them in the freezer all the time but don't drop them! They'll break pretty easily if frozen (especially when filled up with frozen goodies). You didn't ask but I'll offer that I'm very careful when heating something up with these in the microwave. Defrosting, yes; warming, sure; getting something pretty darn hot? I've done it successfully and nothing's melted yet, but I'm cautious.

they should; they are a sturdy plastic and microwave safe. they will not melt. but they are primarily for mixing. i love them! wish i had had them years ago!!

Sorry I don't know cos I try to use microwave as little as possible for the little one. But what I do is (carefully) insert hot water into the reservoir section of the plate and also rinse the plate itself with hot water before placing hot/warm (or reheated on a stove) food on it. I have used these plates for nearly 3 years and am still loving them. I recently bought new ones for my pre-schooler since I figure we should change new ones after 3 years of continuous use but the old ones are still very much fine. I also bought some for friends. Be sure to turn the lid away from the toddler during meal time. Hope this will help. Sorry I don't know cos I try to use microwave as little as possible for the little one.

They're extremely hard plastic. The stove top and oven can get pretty hot and they still look new. So, I'd probably say yes as long as you are not placing it directly near or on the burner or on the oven door.

I wouldn't microwave them, just to be overly safe because they are plastic. But they are small and would defrost quickly in a bowl of hot water.

If it were me I would not put them direct on the stove. I would worry about scratching. I love my set and we use them with gas stove.

I would not put them in the oven. They are good to use in the microwave, however. Just leave the plastic lid off.

I would not place these in the microwave. Plastic seems too flimsy and may melt.

Absolutely not! They are not made for high temps like the oven; however, they are definitely microwave friendly.

They do get hot. I would suggest a kitchen towel or a pot holder when first getting them out. Also, the big plates are too big for your average microwave. So that might factor into your purchase as well. They are nice though. I have used them for over a year and I don't even have a chipped one yet. (With 2 kids that also use them regularly, that is an amazing feat.)

I would not microwave them....in fact, they are rather fragile...but, beautiful. not for everyday use though...

I would not heat them. I also put them in the fridge while I was nursing. They were wonderfully cool when I put them back on. What a relief!

I can say that I've used them for hot tea (out of the kettle) and frozen them for frosty mugs in the freezer, but never microwaved them. My guess is they'd be ok, as the water for tea was 200 degrees, but I have never microwaved them. I still have the set with nothing having happened to them. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I believe since they are for a stove top, that they would not be suitable in the oven. The plastic handles would most likely melt.
